If you’re installing this on a fresh machine, the network installer is usually the smoother option. The full ISO is great if you’re setting up multiple systems or need an offline install, but for most people the net install saves some headaches.
Cool. I've moved on to typst and hope to never touch latex again in my lifetime...

I've recently made a dozen vastly different projects with Typst, ALL of which would have created dependency hell, syntax noise, and hours of extra pointless work in Latex. It's such a clear win at this point it's embarrassing.

reminds me of when LyX became trendy with a small group of optimists.
Stared typst ages ago. Thanks for the reminder to try it out. Now the cost of switching is so low too

I've also started using typst for some projects.
I am slowly getting used to the syntax. But it's a process for me.
I also still have latex projects/docs
So happy to see new texlive as well

I wonder what's the status of LaTeX 3[1][2]. Also, it would be nice to have an automation in the style of Tectonic[3][4] (which looks like a dead project itself) out of the box.
Seems like an admirable project but they’re building on creaky foundations. Even the way TexLive is released feels like something from academia than a real piece of software.

A WASM version of (La)TeX plus a decent IDE would be amazing. I'm wondering if such a thing exists.

SwiftLatex and StellarLatex seems to be exactly this. Pretty awesome stuff.
